E-VIENNA, E-Austria—Izingqungquthela ezimbili lapha ngoDisemba 6-9 ziye zazama ukuqwashisa umphakathi nohulumeni ngezikhali zenuzi.
Eyokuqala, Iforamu Yenhlangano Yomphakathi eyafakwa Umkhankaso Wamazwe Ngamazwe Wokuqeda Izikhali Zenuzi, i-ICAN, yahlanganisa ndawonye ama-NGO, amalungu ephalamende, kanye nezishoshovu zayo yonke imigudu ukuze zizame ukukhulisa umoya nokuvuselela umdlandla emizamweni yokuvala ibhomu.
Cishe ababambiqhaza be-700 bachitha izinsuku ezimbili behlola imiphumela enyantisayo yezempilo nemvelo yempi yenuzi, imvamisa yokuphakama kwezinwele zezingozi zamabhomu e-H kanye nokuqhunyiswa eduze, imithelela esabekayo yokuhlolwa kwebhomu-nolunye ucwaningo lwemisebe yabantu olwenziwe ngaphandle kwemvume enolwazi mayelana nathi. izakhamuzi ezingazi namasosha.
Lesi yisizinda esesilinywe amashumi eminyaka, kodwa noma kunjalo siyamangaza kwabangafundile futhi asiphindanga kaningi—ikakhulukazi uma kubhekwa ukuwohloka nokunyuka kwezinga lokufa kwabantu lokho uPapa akubize ngokuthi “iMpi Yezwe Yesithathu” yanamuhla.
Ukufakwa kwe-ICAN kwesikhuthazo sentsha kanye nokuhlanganisa amandla amakhulu kuyimpumuzo eyamukelekayo kunhlangano elwa nezikhali zenuzi eye yabonakala isizukulwane sezishoshovu silahlekelwa imikhankaso emelene nokuhwebelana kwezinkampani zomhlaba kanye nababhebhezeli bokuwohloka kwesimo sezulu. UMary Olson, weNuclear Information and Resource Service, owethule ubufakazi obuchwepheshile mayelana nokubandlululwa kobulili obungahloniphi abesifazane emiphumeleni yemisebe, uthe uthole "ithemba elikhulu ngokumangazayo entsheni yalo mhlangano."
Ingqungquthela yesibili - "i-Vienna Conference on the Humanitarian Impact of Nuclear Weapons" (HINW) - yahlanganisa abameleli bakahulumeni kanye namakhulu abanye, futhi yaba ngeyesithathu ochungechungeni. I-Austria, engenazo izikhali zenuzi noma izikhali zenuzi, ixhase lo mbuthano.
Ngemva kwamashumi eminyaka ezingxoxo mayelana namasu kanye nosayizi wezinombolo wezikhali zenuzi, imihlangano ye-HINW ibhekane nobubi obunzima nempilo eyinhlekelele nemiphumela yemvelo yokuhlolwa kwezikhali zenuzi nezimpi.
Ofakazi abangongoti bakhulume ngqo nabamele uhulumeni abayi-180 mayelana nemiphumela yokuziphatha, esemthethweni, yezokwelapha kanye nemvelo yokuqhunyiswa kwebhomu i-H—ngolimi lobuhle bezokuxhumana—“okubonakalayo.” Khona-ke, izithunywa zezwe eziningi zacela amazwe ahlomile ngezikhali zenuzi ukuthi aphishekele ukuqeda. Izikhulumi eziningi ziphawule ukuthi amabhomu agqitshwayo, izikhali zeqoqo, igesi, izikhali zamakhemikhali nezebhayoloji zonke zivinjelwe, kodwa okubi kunakho konke¾i-thermonuclear WMD—ayikavunyelwa.
Kodwa iNgonyama ayibuboni ubunqunu bayo
Kuvela ukuthi ukuqoqwa kwabakhethiweyo abafana ne-HINW kufana nenani labantu basejele: kunendlela yokuziphatha eqinile, engavamile; ukuhlukaniswa okuqinile kwamakilasi; kanye nokwephulwa okusobala kwayo yonke imithetho yizikhulu ezinelungelo, ezicebile nezitotoswayo.
Ukwephulwa kwemithetho esobala kakhulu kwenzeka ekuqaleni kweseshini yokuqala yemibuzo nezimpendulo, futhi kwakunguhulumeni wami—oweqa imihlangano yangaphambilini ye-HINW eNorway naseMexico—owafaka unyawo olukhipha imisebe emlonyeni wawo owawunebhomu. Ngokushesha ngemva kobufakazi obushaqisayo bomuntu siqu obuvela kuzisulu zokuhlolwa kwebhomu, kanye nokubuyekezwa kukaNks Olson wesayensi okubonisa ukuthi abesifazane nezingane basengozini kakhulu emisebeni kunamadoda, i-US yaphazamiseka. Wonke umuntu waqaphela.
Nakuba abagqugquzeli baqondise kabili ababambiqhaza ukuthi buza imibuzo kuphela isithunywa saseMelika, u-Adam Scheinman, siqale kumakrofoni, futhi sasho ngokungananazi ukuthi, "Ngeke ngibuze umbuzo kodwa ngenze isitatimende." Isiqhwaga sabe sesishaya indiva ingxoxo yephaneli yesikhathi eside mayelana nemiphumela enonya, enyantisayo, neyesikhathi eside yokuhlolwa kwezikhali zenuzi. Kunalokho, ngokukhala ukungalandelani, isitatimende esilungiselelwe sika-Scheinman simemezele ukuphikisa kwe-US ekuvinjweni kwezikhali zenuzi futhi saphawula nokusekelwa kwezingxoxo zeSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Okuphelele Kokuhlola. UMnu. Scheinman uphinde wancoma i-US yokwamukela i-Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty¾ulimi lwekhodi amashumi eminyaka ecwayiza ngokusobala ukwephulwa kwe-US kwezimfuneko zesivumelwano.
(Isimiso phakathi kokwephulwa kwe-NPT ye-US nguPress. Uhlela u-$1 trillion, isabelomali seminyaka engu-30 sezikhali zenuzi ezintsha; izivumelwano “zokwabelana ngenuzi” ezigcina amabhomu e-H angu-180 e-US ezisekelweni zase-US eJalimane, eBelgium, eHolland, e-Italy naseTurkey; kanye ukuthengiswa kwemicibisholo yenuzi ye-Trident emikhumbi yangaphansi yaseBrithani.)
Ukwedelela kukaMnu. Scheinman ngendelelo iphrothokholi yengqungquthela kwakuyi-microcosm yezempi yezwe yomhlaba wonke: ukunganaki, ukwedelela, ukudelela, nokudelela umthetho. Owenziwa ngo-1:20 ntambama, ukuphazamiseka kokwebiwa kwesigameko kwakufike ngesikhathi ukuze kube yisihloko esiphambili ezindabeni ze-TV zasebusuku. Ukwenqaba kwe-US ukusekela nokuhoxiswa komnyakazo wokuvinjelwa kwezikhali zenuzi/isivumelwano kufanele kube indaba yengqungquthela, kodwa abezindaba bezinkampani bangabalwa ukuze baqaphele kuphela i-ajenda yomphakathi ka-Obama kanye nokukhomba kwakhe iminwe e-Iran engeyona eyenuzi.
Umphumela ofiselekayo wokuqubuka kukaScheinman ukuthi i-US yaphambukisa okwesikhashana ukunaka kokungakhethi, okungalawuleki, okusabalele, okuqhubekayo, kwe-radiological kanye nezakhi zofuzo ezilimazayo, umthelela wokuhlekisa wezikhali zenuzi—futhi yathola ithelevishini ukuyimbambatha emhlane ukuze nje ibonakale futhi “ ngilalele.”
Impela, ngemuva kokuqhwagwa kwesikhungo sesiteji lapha—nangemva kokuphindaphinda isikhashana isihloko sengqungquthela—i-US manje ingase ibuyele ku-ajenda yayo yangempela, “ukuthuthukiswa” kwemishini ebiza kakhulu yokukhiqiza amabhomu e-H amasha angama-80 ngonyaka. ngo-2020.
